We provided arms and training to the Mujahdieen during the Soviet-Afghan war. Osama Bin Laden did fight on their side but he wasn't a leader and we weren't directly funding him.

What about the United States JUST sponsoring terrorists in Syria months ago ...?

Their country was better off before we invaded tho..is Afghanistan a better place now. NO..one of my friends went to Afghanistan in the 90s and she loved it,,now it's a hell hole

Afghanistan wasn't a hell hole before the United States invaded? :mjlol:

The country was steeped in abject poverty, famine and civil war. All music, films, books and modern technology were banned and women were executed in football stadiums for adultery( i.e.being raped).

I'm all for pulling out of Afghanistan but what else were we supposed to do after 9/11?

Wow, really? I stand corrected then.

I guess everything I've ever read about the war has just been fully refuted by your friend's cassette tapes.

I understand the point you're making is that terrorism has become a word often used to discredit people with valid grievances. There is some truth with that observation.

However, religious motivated violence is always stupid, ignorant and baseless.
